This Time I'm Really Going To Do It

Disgusting cold. Feel awful.
Did some work however and may have enough for an overpayment. If only I could access my bank accounts :rotfl:
Decuttered office noticeboard 3/365. It looks so much better without bits of out of date paper stuck all over it and vouchers that expired in 2013!!Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

Glad you had a nice time over Christmas, but sorry to hear you've got that cold that's going around.
I'm also going to be counting items de-cluttered for 2015. I include everything that leaves the house, whether it's in the bin, to the charity shop,or sold by eBay. I've been de-cluttering since 2009, on and off, and I've had enough of it - this year I'm serious!
I think the pensions boards are good for people who are already very financially confident, and who are high net worth individuals. Some of the figures that are bandied around are quite mind boggling, and the acronyms are difficult to work out unless you already know a lot about pensions.
However, I still feel the need to post there from time to time, to 'trumpet' my early retirement, in the hope that admin notice and award me a badge! :rotfl:Early retired - 18th December 2014

You go over there and trumpet Goldie. You are an inspiration
Spent most of night coughing but have come into office to do some work today. And to make an overpayment - if - I can find bank card
(Yet more proof declutter seriously needed)Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

Bank card found. Hurrah
Overpayment made so the big news is that I go into the new year under the £50 k figure :j :j :j
Will update signature when finally can access on line and can see it has been applied but it really does feel like a milestone has been reached.
Decluttered 2 chests of drawers and items moved to correct places and some thrown away will count as just one declutter as items that left the house were small. 4/365 Also decluttered to top of the office shelves and binned a lot of sample stuff I no longer send out 5/365. Would have thrown away more but Mr Watty appeared and announced a need for 2 odd wooden dolls, some odd tools and a broken light fitting all of which had to be stashed back up there!Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

Thanks for the lovely sentiment Alchemilla.
Little peace around here last night. So many of my neighbours let off fireworks - all I could think whilst checking ponies were ok about was the money there were sending up to the heavensPonies didn't mind too much and at least I enjoyed a lovely midnight with my ponies and dog. (Mr Watty slept through the racket!)

Christmas decorations down and nearly away - just need to go to loft. Gift tags made from cards and sitting area decluttered and cleaned.
This has really meant moving a lot of stuff to more appropriate places - see I said I was untidy :rotfl:
Will only count stuff that left the building so 1 plastic tub emptied in feed room and won't be buying that again for the boys (6) 2 boxes removed from sitting room (7) and 4 coasters thrown (8/365).
Stuff to ebay sorted and put aside and diary note made to get Christmas decs out of loft in November as serious declutter of them needed as we don't use a lot of the stuff and it would probably sell via ebay nearer the next festive period.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
